8 * Refers to advertising revenue which is served on Opera s network of third party publishers. Advertising revenue which is served on Opera s owned and operated properties is reported under Mobile Consumers Opera Owned and Operated Properties. The global advertising industry continues to experience a macro shift in advertising spend from traditional offline channels, such as print, television and radio, to online channels, with mobile taking an increasing share of the online/internet medium. This macro shift from offline to online has been fueled by several factors, namely, the increasing amount of time consumers spend online and on mobile devices and the fact that digital advertising compared to traditional offline advertising enables much better targeting, provides opportunities for more user interaction, and provides better measurement capabilities. The rapid growth in mobile advertising in particular is being fueled by a number of factors: (i) the dramatic increase in smartphone users to over 1.5 billion entering 2014, with smartphone users spending significantly more time engaged with their mobile devices than feature phone users; (ii) reach and anytime-anywhere access to users there are more than 5 billion mobile phone users worldwide overall (compared to around 2 billion desktop users, for example); (iii) strong targeting characteristics advertisers are able to glean meaningful amounts of aggregated information about mobile users, such as location, demographics and behavior; (iv) high performance and user response rates from Android and ios smartphone devices in particular, which support highly interactive and entertaining ad formats due to advanced display technologies, strong graphics processors and fast processing speeds; (v) wider spread access to high speed wireless data networks, which enables the consumption of high quality and rich media and video content on mobile devices; and (vi) rapid increase in consumer time spent in smartphone mobile applications in particular, as developers have been able to deliver highly intuitive, engaging and personalized content experiences in-app, capitalizing on native operating system software development kits which facilitate the full harnessing of a mobile device s processing capabilities and functionality. Opera s goal is to power the mobile advertising ecosystem through innovative and differentiated mobile advertising services and technology solutions, targeting premium brand and performance advertisers, ad agencies, publishers and application developers. Opera s ultimate mission is to help both publishers increase revenue from their mobile properties and content and advertisers reach and acquire potential customers. Under the Opera Mediaworks brand, Opera is able to offer premium brand mobile advertisers the ability to build their brands and engage with consumers by offering creative services, sophisticated audience targeting capabilities, significant audience and publisher reach, high levels of transparency and measurability on ad campaigns, and support for highly interactive and engaging advertising experiences on a full range of mobile devices, including banner display ads, interactive rich media and video ads and native advertising. Moreover, Opera offers advertisers the ability to purchase advertising through the traditional insert order (IO) method and electronically via Opera s real time bidding (RTB) and programmatic platform. Under the Opera Response brand, Opera is able to provide performance advertisers with comprehensive tools to better reach their target audience and acquire new customers. Opera Response facilitates real-time targeting, real-time bidding (RTB) and real-time reporting on mobile ad campaigns. Overall, Opera Response helps performance advertisers and application developers with cost per action (CPA) campaigns, such as campaigns to secure customer sign-ups, leads and application downloads. For premium mobile publishers and developers, Opera offers technology solutions and services, highly intuitive reporting and analytical tools and access to premium advertisers (via Opera s own advertiser relationships and third party mobile ad networks), helping these publishers maximize revenue from their content and user base. At the core of Opera s success with premium publishers and developers is the AdMarvel technology platform and software development kit (SDK). AdMarvel s success with premium publishers stems from three major sources: (i) Its Ad Serving capabilities (powerful rich media ad serving, targeting and analytics), (ii) Its Ad Mediation capabilities (ad performance optimization and transparency and control over ad network traffic from over 120 ad sources from around the world) and (iii) Its Campaign Management capabilities (management, uploading, scheduling and control of house ads and directly sourced advertising). These capabilities have helped AdMarvel publisher customers drive higher fill rates and CPMs and ultimately higher revenue. Premium publisher customers include Pandora Media, Shazam, Sky, The Wall Street Journal, and Univision. Via the Opera Mediaworks Ad Exchange (OMAX), Opera offers a real-time bidding (RTB) platform that brings advertisers, ad networks and agencies together with mobile publishers and app developers for an efficient, automated media buying and selling experience. Through OMAX 2.0, publishers now have access to several new demand-side platforms (DSPs), facilitated by new audience segmentation and expanded targeting capabilities, designed to improve monetization of publisher properties. Publisher customers can also choose the option of setting up private marketplaces for their inventory with programmatic direct on OMAX. This brings in diverse demand sources while still maintaining publisher control. Building on a legacy as a trusted partner for the management of a publisher s private data, Opera also offers a cooperative DMP solution. Here, publishers can opt-in, consistent with their privacy policies, to share nonpersonally identifiable information about their consumers to improve ad targeting capabilities and drive better monetization. This helps both publishers to pool their data to provide better targeting and advertisers to more easily identify and reach their target consumer. In 2Q14, Opera announced the acquisition of AdColony, a global leading mobile video ad platform. AdColony clearly establishes Opera as a global leader in mobile advertising, with a combined audience reach north of 800 million consumers.

AdColony's proprietary Instant-Play video ad technology eliminates latency and long load times for video, providing the highest quality video experience for advertisers, publishers and consumers, with interactive elements to drive engagement, action and results. The company's customers include Fortune 500 brands, performance advertisers and more than 70 percent of the world's top grossing app publishers. The AdColony acquisition was spurred by the huge demand demonstrated by Opera s existing advertiser and publisher customers for high quality mobile video advertising solutions and the fact that mobile video is the fastest growing ad format within the mobile advertising industry. Integrating AdColony s highly differentiated mobile video advertising platform into Opera s end-to-end mobile advertising platform makes Opera a global leader in mobile video advertising, complementing the Company s traditional strength in rich media advertising. Moreover, AdColony s demonstrated expertise in leveraging mobile video advertising for performance advertisers is expected to further strengthen Opera s value proposition in the hyper growth user acquisition/app-install segment of the mobile advertising industry. AdColony also significantly increases both Opera s audience reach (adding unduplicated reach north of 200 million consumers) and Opera s portfolio of publishers in the mobile gaming segment, which accounts for the largest amount of consumer time spent within mobile applications. Overall, Opera's US mobile advertising operation works directly and indirectly with 24 of the top 25 Ad Age Global Advertisers. In addition, Opera powers advertising for 18 of the top 25 Global Media companies with over 64B monthly ad impressions under management.

In the quarter, Opera revenue in the Mobile Publisher and Advertiser business (Opera Publisher Partner Members) grew to MUSD 51.1, up 83% compared to 2Q13.

In 2Q14, the number of applications and websites powered by Opera Mediaworks grew to over 17,000, up from over 13,000 in 2Q13, and the number of advertising impressions managed grew to over 187 billion in 2Q14 compared to billion in 2Q13, an increase of 9%.

Desktop Consumers Desktop Revenue (MUSD) Today, the desktop browser is more powerful a platform than ever. This is seen most saliently with the clear dominance of Web applications over desktop-centric computing. This trend is no more pronounced than with social networking, where Facebook, for example, has more than 800 million desktop users. In addition, the rapid adoption and innovation around HTML5 is making Web applications more powerful and always available. For example, playing video without the need for third-party applications or plug-ins and using geo-location to provide locally targeted information are some clear examples where HTML5 is making the browser and browser-based applications much more powerful than in the past. Since the first public release in 1995, Opera has continuously delivered browser innovation to desktop PCs. Opera s desktop browser provides its users with a safe, efficient, personalizable and enjoyable browsing experience. Today, the vast majority of Opera s desktop users are in the Russia/CIS region and in the emerging markets. Opera is particularly focused on growing users in regions where it already has a strong base of users, such as Russia. Opera s monetization strategy for its desktop browser revolves predominantly around search, which comes preconfigured on all of the Company s desktop versions. Google and Yandex are Opera s key strategic search partners and provide the majority of the Company s desktop monetization. These partnerships are supplemented by local search partnerships in certain markets, such as Japan, and China, where Opera works with Yahoo! Japan and Baidu, respectively. In addition, Opera has signed up e-commerce players such as Amazon.com (USA, Germany, Japan), Booking.com (64 countries), and Ozon (Russia) to further enhance ARPU.

The Opera TV Store, which contains hundreds of TV apps from popular content providers such as Vimeo, Facebook and Fashion TV, has already shipped on tens of millions of devices, including Internet TVs and Blu-ray Disc players. In addition, with innovative toolkits such as Opera TV Snap, brands and content owners can quickly repurpose their online video inventory into HTML5- based TV apps, at zero cost In 2Q14, Opera and Switzerland s leading telecom provider, Swisscom, announced that the Opera TV Store application platform will be pre-installed on Swisscom settop boxes. It is the first European pay-tv operator to bring the Opera TV Store on board, as operators embrace overthe-top content to satisfy viewers hunger for on-demand services. The partnership also marks the Opera TV Store s first fully customized and co-branded deployment Q13 3Q13 4Q13 1Q14 2Q14 The Opera Devices SDK powers the web experience on tens of millions of devices made by over 50 customers, including Altech, Amino, Arris, Cisco, Humax, Samsung, Sharp, Sony, TCL, TiVo and Vestel. Opera s web products for Smart TV devices also include the Opera TV Store app platform and the Opera TV browser. Outlook As device manufacturers and operators seek to enhance their relationships with and provide compelling applications and services to their consumers, they are increasingly developing and deploying Internet-connected devices. Traditionally, television has been referred to as a lean back medium, where interaction is passive. Today, television manufacturers and operators are trying to encourage consumers to become more actively engaged with their TV sets, referred to as a lean-forward model, by providing Web applications, Web browsing and other digital content on TVs. This has been spurred not only by the desire of the TV manufacturers and operators to differentiate, obtain premium pricing for their product and service offerings and generate new revenue streams, but also by the perceived opportunity to bring many of the same services that have been deployed successfully in the mobile phone eco-system, such as mobile Web browsing and application stores, to their TV consumer customers. With the Opera Devices Software Developer Kit (SDK), device manufacturers and operators are able to offer not only Web browsing capabilities and full Internet access to their consumer end customers, but also customized Web applications which are accessible from the home screen of the device. Moreover, with the Opera Devices SDK, device manufacturers and operators are able to use their own (and third-party) developers to create user interfaces, widgets and menu systems using Web technologies, such as HTML5 and CSS, HbbTV and OIPF, while accelerating time to market for new consumer electronic devices. Opera remains positive about the Company s overall growth prospects, which is expected to be driven primarily by our mobile businesses going forward. Within our mobile business, Opera continues to drive a compelling value proposition for operators, helping them increase data and services revenue streams and profitability. With the continued rollout of the cloud-based Rocket Optimizer solution and other smartphonetargeted products and services to the Company s existing and prospective operator customers, Opera expects to generate solid revenue growth from our operator business in 2014, compared to Moreover, the Company continues to deliver a very compelling value proposition to our rapidly burgeoning mobile consumer base, providing a fast and data saving, and therefore cheaper, browsing experience. Opera s strategy is to capitalize on our over 270 million mobile browser user base by building and expanding Opera s owned and operated properties and monetizing these properties via mobile advertising, mobile search and mobile applications. Opera expects to generate solid revenue growth from our mobile-consumer user base in 2014, versus 2013, due to much larger mobile advertising revenue streams in particular from our owned and operated mobile properties, including the Smart Page and the Opera Mobile Store. Within Opera s Mobile Publisher & Advertiser business (Opera Publisher Partner members), Opera expects to generate meaningfully more revenue from this business in SECOND QUARTER 2014

11 2014, compared to 2013, as Opera continues to ramp up revenue from brand and performance advertisers and application developers. Opera s key operational priorities in 2014 include continuing to (i) sign operator agreements for Opera s existing and new products and services, including the Rocket Optimizer solution; (ii) grow revenues and users of Opera s mobile consumer products, particularly on the Android and ios smartphone platforms, and expand usage and monetization of Opera s owned and operated properties; (iii) increase revenue from Mobile Publishers and Advertisers (Opera Publisher Partner members), by expanding Opera s demand-side advertising reach and capabilities; (iv) grow Opera s desktop user base, particularly in Russia/CIS; and (v) increase Opera s overall profitability and margins.

The management uses certain Non-IFRS performance measures and ratios in managing the business and may provide users of this financial information with additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. We consider the use of non-ifrs financial information helpful in understanding the performance of our business, as it excludes acquisition related adjustments to revenue and expenses and other non-cash items. While our management uses the non-ifrs financial information as a tool to enhance their understanding of certain aspects of our financial performance, our management does not consider these measures to be a substitute for, or superior to, the information provided by IFRS numbers and financial information. Consistent with this approach, we believe that disclosing non-ifrs financial information to the readers of our financial statements provides such readers with useful supplemental data that, while not a substitute for IFRS numbers and financial information, allows for greater transparency in the review of our financial and operational performance.

The Group has used the same accounting policies and standards as in the consolidated financial statements of December 31, The Board of Directors and the Company s shareholders at the Annual General Assembly has in June 2014 adopted a program for the grant of equity compensation in the form of restricted stock unit ( RSU ) awards to the executive officers and other employees of the Company (the RSU Program ). The RSU Program has replaced the Company s previous program authorizing the grant of options to the executive officers and other employees of the Company. The RSU Program can be summarized as follows (and as further detailed below): - One RSU will entitle the holder to receive one share of capital stock of the Company against payment in cash of the par value for the share (currently NOK 0.02 per share). - The total number of RSUs available for grant under the RSU Program is 3,000,000 over four years, subject to a maximum of 1.9 million RSUs that can be granted in any one year. - The RSUs may be performance based or time based. - The standard vesting period is 4 years, with an initial one year non-vesting period and annual vesting thereafter, unless the Board decides otherwise for specific grants. - Key executives and key employees world-wide will be eligible for grants. - No employee can receive RSUs in any financial year which in value exceeds 200% of that employee s annual cash compensation (unless the Board makes exemptions in special cases).

The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the result of which form the basis for making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Change in an accounting estimate is recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

In 2Q 2014, approximately 74% (YTD: 74%) of revenues were in USD, 10% (YTD: 13%) in EUR, 6% (YTD: 4%) in CNY, 5% (YTD:5%) in GBP, and 4% (YTD: 4%) in other currencies; for expenses, approximately 59% (YTD: 59%) were in USD, 17% (YTD: 17%) in NOK, 5% (YTD: 5%) in GBP, 5% (YTD: 5%) in SEK, 4% (YTD: 5%) in PLN, 2% (YTD: 1%) in CNY, and 7% (YTD: 8%) in other currencies. Foreign currency movements impacted Opera's 2Q 2014 income statement as follows: Revenue would have been approximately MUSD (higher by approximately 1%) using the 2Q 2013 constant currency FX rates and revenue would have been approximately MUSD (higher by approximately 0%) using the 1Q 2014 constant currency FX rates. Costs would have been approximately MUSD 85.0 (higher by approximately 1%) using the 2Q 2013 constant currency FX rates and cost would have been approximately MUSD 83.7 (lower by approximately 1%) using the 1Q 2014 constant currency FX rates. The majority of the Company s purchases are made in the following denominations: NOK, USD, SEK, PLN, GBP, JPY, CNY, KRW, TWD, AUD, UAH, ISK, SGD, BRL, UYU, MXN, ARS, EUR and INR. Exchange rate fluctuations in these currencies do impact Opera's income statement. For 2Q 2014, Opera had a net foreign exchange gain of MUSD 2.0. MUSD 0.4 was realized foreign exchange loss and MUSD 2.4 was unrealized foreign exchange gain. The unrealized foreign exchange gain is estimated as the difference between the exchange rate at the closing date and date of the transaction. Foreign exchange contracts Opera had not entered into any foreign exchange contracts as of June 30, 2014.

27 Note 9 - Business Combinations Individually immaterial business combinations From time to time, the Group acquires 100% of the shares/membership interest of one or several companies that individually are not seen as material transactions. These business combinations are material collectively, and the 2014 business combination numbers shown below are therefore disclosed in aggregate. The aforementioned 2014 acquisitions have the following aggregated future obligations: Up to MUSD 15.0 in potential cash earnout consideration (to be paid to the Sellers in 2015 and 2016 based on aggressive revenue and EBIT targets), plus additional potential limited consideration based on EBIT exceeding the aggressive targets in 2015 and The acquisitions enables Opera to: (i) meet the growing demand for mobile ad inventory and impressions in important global mobile markets, such as Latin America and German speaking European countries; (ii) better monetize Opera s existing inventory in such regions, including that of Opera's own mobile browser users; and (iii) strengthen our publisher base targeted to non-english speaking consumers in the US and elsewhere In 2Q 2014, the Group incurred acquisition-related costs of MUSD 0.0 (YTD: 0.0) related to external legal fees and due diligence costs. The legal fees and due diligence costs have been included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed Other intangible assets 0.0 Other investments and deposits 0.0 Property, plant, and equipment 0.1 Deferred tax assets 0.8 Accounts receivable* 2.3 Unbilled revenue 0.6 Other receivables 0.3 Cash and cash equivalents 0.8 Accounts payable -5.7 Taxes payable -0.2 Social security, VAT, and other taxation payable -0.1 Other short-term liabilities -1.7 Total net identifiable assets -2.7 Cash consideration -7.8 Escrow -0.9 Contingent consideration -7.2 Excess value Related customer relationships 3.2 Deferred tax on excess values -0.4 Goodwill 15.8 * MUSD 0.0 in provision for bad debt. The assets and liabilities that were recognized immediately before the business combinations equaled the carrying amount recognized by the Group on the acquisition dates. In addition, the Group booked the excess price of the fair value of the total identifiable assets as related customer relationships, deferred tax on excess values and goodwill, since the excess prices have been deemed to be related to these intangible assets.

28 Note 9 - Business Combinations (continued) Opera calculated the fair value on the acquisition dates and booked a contingent consideration of MUSD 7.2 in the financial statements. The contingent consideration is revalued each quarter, and more information can be found in note 10. The value of the related customer relationships is depreciated over a 6 to 7-year period. The fair value of the net identifiable assets has not been calculated by an external company. Opera has treated the contingent consideration as consideration for the purchase of the business with exception of the non-compete payment which has been treated as remuneration. The evaluation is based on the indicators outlined in IFRS 3.

30 Note 10 - Contingent Liabilities and Provisions (continued) Skyfire Labs Earnout agreement and senior management incentive plan Valuation techniques and key model inputs used to measure the contingent consideration: Opera has estimated the total earnout value before discounting to be MUSD 57.2, at the acquisition date. Opera used a WACC of 25% and foreign exchange rate of , when calculating the earnout. Based on these assumptions and the earnout valuation performed at the acquisition date, Opera calculated the fair value and booked a contingent consideration of MUSD 40.5 in the financial statements. The FY 2013, 2014 and FY 2015 earnout targets are both based on revenue and EBIT targets. The maximum possible payment for both FY 2013, 2014 and FY 2015 is MUSD At the acquisition date, Opera calculated the earnout value before discounting to be MUSD 26.7 in FY 2013, MUSD 30.5 in FY 2014, and MUSD 0.0 in FY The contingent consideration is revalued each quarter, and MUSD 0.0 has been booked as a non-current provision and MUSD 0.4 as a current provision as of June 30, For 2Q 2014, Opera booked MUSD 0.0 (YTD 0.2) as an interest expense, MUSD 0.0 (YTD 0.1) as an FX expense and MUSD 0.0 (YTD 0.0) as change in likelihood. The weighted probability rates are estimated to change +/-10%. Please also see note 9 for more details. In 3Q 2013, Opera paid portions of the 2013 earnout payment of MUSD The payment had no impact on cash flow in 3Q 2013 since the amount was paid to the escrow agent in 1Q In 1Q 2014, the escrow agent repaid MUSD 5.0 of the indemnity escrow fund to Opera as Skyfire Labs did not meet the performance targets related to the escrow. Further, it has been agreed that up to the first MUSD 10.0 of any 2015 total earnout payments that become payable pursuant to the merger agreement, are to be part of an incentive payment to certain senior management employees. The valuation of the contingent consideration is based on the same principles as described above. The contingent consideration is revalued each quarter, and MUSD 3.1 has been booked as a non-current provision as of June 30, For 2Q 2014, Opera booked MUSD 0.2 (YTD: 0.4) as an interest expense and MSUD 0.0 (YTD 0.0) as change in likelihood.

35 Note 16 - Subsequent Events Acquisition of AdColony On June 24, 2014, Opera announced that it had reached a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the stock and voting intrests in Jirbo Acquisition Company, Inc. (DBA: AdColony). The acquisition closed on July 24, The transaction is an acquisition by Opera Software ASA of all outstanding stock in AdColony. The transaction was structured as a reverse triangular merger resulting in AdColony, as the surviving corporation, becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Opera Software ASA. AdColony is a mobile video advertising company, whose proprietary Instant-Play technology serves razor sharp, full-screen video ads instantly in HD across its extensive network of ios and Android apps, eliminating the biggest pain points in mobile video advertising: long load times and grainy, choppy video. As a leading mobile video advertising and monetization platform, AdColony works with both Fortune 500 brands and the world's top grossing publishers. The company's reach, targeting and optimization tools and services provide advertisers with a superior way to engage mobile audiences at scale. AdColony's app developer tools and services provide publishing partners with ways to maximize monetization while gaining insight needed to continuously optimize content and advertising offerings. AdColony has offices in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, Detroit, New York and London. To learn more about AdColony, visit The mobile advertising market, including Opera s existing customers, have shown a strong appetite for high quality mobile video advertising solutions - on both the supply and demand sides of the advertising economy. Integrating AdColony s technology into Opera s end-to-end mobile advertising platform will extend Opera s leadership position in rich media advertising, establishing it as the go-to platform for mobile video advertising. AdColony s demonstrated expertise in leveraging mobile video advertising for performance advertisers is expected to further strengthen Opera s value proposition for user acquisition/app install offerings, in a market that is characterized by explosive growth. AdColony also brings a formidable portfolio of mobile publishers to Opera, including many of the top grossing mobile applications on Apple's App Store and Google Play who in turn can benefit from the broader capabilities of Opera Mediaworks. Finally, leveraging Opera s global footprint and accessible inventory, the AdColony technology can be applied to a much broader global audience, at a much faster rate than what would have been possible in a stand-alone scenario. For advertisers, the addition of AdColony will make Opera Mediaworks the most comprehensive suite of brand and performance-based mobile ad solutions, delivering creative, targeting, analytics, measurement, programmatic buying, and video and rich-media offerings. For publishers, the combination will offer the world s largest mobile-focused ad server along with a larger scope of managed, self-service and programmatic tools creating powerful ways to effectively monetize inventory. Transaction and Financial Highlights Opera paid MUSD 75.0 in cash for AdColony at closing, plus MUSD 18.4 for the net cash on AdColony's balance sheet. In addition, the deal may include additional variable cash and/or stock consideration of up to MUSD 275 (including the potential release of the already paid MUSD 25.0 in escrow to the escrow agent) tied to ambitious 2014, 2015 and 2016 AdColony mobile video advertising revenue and Adjusted EBITDA* targets. The first MUSD 30.0 of the potential 2014 variable earn-out consideration will be paid in stock (converted to a number of shares based on a pre-determined Opera share price of USD ), equivalent to up to 2.43 million shares. Beyond this, the payment mix of cash versus stock for earn-out payments is largely at Opera s discretion, and payments in stock will be converted based on Opera s share price at the time of payment.

36 Note 16 - Subsequent Events (continued) The highlights of the variable acquisition consideration portion of the transaction for the 2014, 2015, and 2016 financial targets are as follows: Performance components Escrow Total Maximum Variable Consideration Up to MUSD 10 released based on 2014 Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA* targets Expected additional payments MUSD Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA* 2015 Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA* 2016 Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA* Up to MUSD 15 released based on 2015 Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA* targets Up to MUSD 22.5 based on revenue targets Up to MUSD 52.5 based on Adjusted EBITDA* targets Up to MUSD 30 based on revenue targets Up to MUSD 105 based on Adjusted EBITDA* targets Up to MUSD 7.5 based on revenue targets MUSD 49.9 MUSD 75.0 MUSD 20.6 Up to MUSD 32.5 based on Adjusted EBITDA* targets Total variable components MUSD 275 MUSD *Non-IFRS EBITDA excludes stock-based compensation expenses, extraordinary/one-time costs and acquisition related costs Should AdColony deliver even stronger incremental financial performance compared to what is incorporated into Opera s updated 2014 financial guidance and 2015 financial aspirations and Opera is required to pay higher earn-out payments, the multiples and attractiveness of the deal will improve even further. ABG Sundal Collier Norge ASA provided the Opera Board of Directors with a fairness opinion on the purchase price for AdColony. Opera was advised by Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP as U.S. counsel and Arntzen de Besche Advokatfirma AS as Norwegian counsel. In 2Q 2014, the Group incurred acquisition-related costs of MUSD 1.4 (YTD: 1.7) related to external legal fees and due diligence costs. The legal fees and due diligence costs have been included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

37 Note 16 - Subsequent Events (continued) Valuation techniques and key model inputs used to measure the contingent consideration: Opera has estimated the total earnout value before discounting to be MUSD 170.6, at the acquisition date. Opera used a WACC of 11.5% and foreign exchange rate of , when calculating and booking the earnout in Opera Software ASA. Based on these assumptions and the earnout valuation performed at the acquisition date, Opera calculated the fair value and booked a contingent consideration of MUSD in the financial statements. The FY 2014, 2015, and FY 2016 earnout targets are both based on revenue and Adjusted EBIT targets. The maximum possible payment for both FY 2014, 2015 and FY 2016 is MUSD 275. At the acquisition date, Opera calculated the earnout value before discounting to be MUSD 59.9 in FY 2014, MUSD 90.0 in FY 2015, and MUSD 20.6 in FY Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed Other intangible assets 0.0 Property, plant, and equipment 0.8 Deferred tax assets 0.4 Other investments and deposits 0.1 Accounts receivable* 12.8 Unbilled revenue 11.6 Other receivables 0.8 Cash and cash equivalents 21.1 Accounts payable Taxes payable -0.2 Social security, VAT, and other taxation payable -0.2 Deferred revenue 0.0 Other short-term liabilities -5.9 Total net identifiable assets 18.3 Cash consideration Contingent consideration Excess value Related customer relationships 34.0 Customer contracts 6.0 Proprietary technology 15.0 Non-compete 0.0 Deferred tax on excess values Goodwill** * MUSD 0.1 as provision for bad debt ** Not deductable for tax purposes The assets and liabilities that were recognized by AdColony, Inc. immediately before the business combination equaled the carrying amount recognized by the Group on the acquisition date. These are preliminary numbers that are subject to change upon computation of the final allocation. In addition, the Group booked the excess price of the fair value of the total identifiable assets as related customer relationships, proprietary technology, deferred tax on excess values and goodwill, since the excess price has been deemed to be related to these intangible assets. The substantial amount of goodwill in the acquisition of AdColony can be attributed to the synergies that exist between the two companies, as well as the qualified AdColony workforce.

38 Note 16 - Subsequent Events (continued) The value of the related customer relationships is depreciated over a 5-year period, the customer contracts are depreciated over a 2-year period and the proprietary technology is depreciated over a 3-year period. The fair value of the net identifiable assets has not been calculated by an external company. Opera has treated the entire contingent consideration as consideration for the purchase of the business and no part as remuneration. The evaluation is based on the indicators outlined in IFRS 3. Financing On June 24, 2014 Opera signed an agreement with DNB Bank ASA to increase the size of its secured revolving credit facility originally entered into on February 15, 2013 from MUSD100 to MUSD 200. Due to the successful completion of the share offering (see below) on June 27, 2014, the facility was automatically reduced to MUSD 150 upon the registration of the capital increase with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises in early July. The amended facility, now in the amount of up to MUSD 150, will primarily be secured through a share pledge in Opera Software International AS and floating charges over accounts receivable in Opera Software ASA and certain of its U.K. and U.S. subsidiaries. The new facility has a term of 3 years and bears an interest rate of LIBOR % p.a. (plus a utilization fee varying with the amount drawn).on the undrawn portion of the facility, a commitment fee of 35% of the applicable margin will be paid. Opera Software intends to use the financing for general corporate purposes and to fund potential earn-out payments related to the acquisition of AdColony. Please see note 12 for more information. On June 27, 2014, Opera Software ASA announced the successful completion of the offering of 10 million shares, equal to 7.5% of the existing share capital of the Company (the "Offering"). The Offering was comprised of a private placement to institutional investors in Norway and internationally. The over-subscribed Offering was completed at an offer price of NOK 80 per share, which was determined through an accelerated book-building process. Gross proceeds from the Offering amount to MNOK 800. The net proceeds will be used to increase the Company's capital base for current and future strategic acquisition activities and obligations. In particular, the proceeds of the placement will provide the Company with additional funding flexibility to meet its earn-out obligations in connection with the recent AdColony acquisition. MNOK 27.5 in transaction costs has been booked against the gross proceeds.
